Getting a good reliable gps on my phone has been a task of mine for quite a while.

I just bought an OnCourse BT GPS from ebay for $50 and figured google maps would be all I needed. Well until I tried to go into the mountains and my phone didn't have service. Not to mention google maps isn't really very easy to use when you are driving. So I did a bit more research and found TomTom pda - all the US maps can fit on a 1GB SD - so no cell signal is needed and it has voice prompts. To make it even more fun you can download additional voices so you can even have Mr T and Austin powers tell you how groovy your drive is.

I have used my BT gps with the WM6 builds I found on here and it works great. The setup is a little different then in WM5 though.

The only part that's a little tricky is the initial connection/paring with the gps - but once it works it seems to be very solid.

Just be sure after you pair the GPS and the phone that you create the virtual serial port in the bluetooth setup, otherwise you will just get cannot find GPS. Also set up the external gps - To Do this click connections -> Hardware -> COM0 -> Baud rate 9600 (This may differ depending on your BT GPS device)

Hope this helps!
